PORTLAND, Ore.--(Business Wire)--PacStar today launched the PacStar
Secure Wireless Command Post (SWCP TLS) – a fully integrated,
expeditionary solution that provides warfighters with the groundbreaking
ability to transmit classified information over wireless networks in the
field using LTE-enabled commercial smartphones and tablets. The solution
will be unveiled and demonstrated at Modern
Day Marine, which takes place September 25-27, 2018 in Quantico, VA.

Last year, PacStar launched its pioneering PacStar
Secure Wireless Command Post (Wi-Fi) to provide high-speed wireless
for mobile devices, at Wi-Fi distances, typically a few hundred feet.
With the addition of LTE, PacStar now enables warfighter mobility at
much greater distances, measured in thousands of feet or several miles
from the cellular base station – much like consumers are able to roam
using LTE for daily activity.

Secure classified communications everywhere: PacStar SWCP is
packaged in a case small enough to meet airline carry-on requirements,
but rugged enough to be mounted on military tactical communications
vehicles – enabling classified mobile communications for a nearly
unlimited array of use cases.

Two layers of encryption: Using IPsec VPN clients and servers,
combined with Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption, SWCP TLS
provides security for mobility that is eligible for use in networks up
to Top Secret. This approach ensures security of transmitted
information even if a single layer contains a flaw or vulnerability.

Fully modular solution: The core of PacStar SWCP TLS is based
on rugged, small form factor PacStar
400-Series modules. Packaged together in rugged transit cases, or
mounted in vehicles, the modular solution provides flexibility to
configure capabilities as organizations need, while both minimizing
SWaP yet standing up to environmental extremes.

“Our new secure wireless capability unlocks more widespread use of
mobile phone and tablet applications in the tactical communities,
improving situational awareness for the warfighter,” said Peggy Miller,
chief executive officer, PacStar. “We’re thrilled to offer this
integrated combination of so many technologies from leading companies in
order to deliver secure wireless in a turnkey solution.”

Charlie Kawasaki, chief technical officer, PacStar adds: “This solution
represents years of engineering investment by PacStar, combined with
technical collaboration with the best in the networking industry.”

PacStar will conduct live demonstrations of the PacStar SWCP TLS at our
booth (#3231) at Modern Day Marines 2018.
